We took a day trip to LA. We did Hollywood, got yummy ice cream sandwiches by UCLA, went to see the Grey Stone Mansion, the Donheny's house, (since my parents now live in the Doheny beach house), and of course we took time to stop at the temple.

The last time we were there the visitor center was under contraction and now it was finished to we got to go in and take a look.

This is just a random picture of a summer store we had. We never get summer storms and that is one thing I do actually miss about living in Utah.

Every year we try and hit the county fair. This year we started out looking at the animals and we were lucky enough to see the baby pigs. The kids could have watched them most the night.

We let the kids to just a few rides. This was their first choice.

They let D go as long as she went with A. I'm so glad have A as my helper!

It didn't take long before we had to hit the good fair food. We had al types of yummy things. This HUGE corn dog was a hit.

The only reason Big B really likes to go to the fair is the food.

We had to explain to the kids that we would get lots of food but everyone would only get a few bites of everything. That way we could try more things. We also tried deep fried Klondike bar, BBQ corn, lemonade, and more.

If we're not out of town for the 24th then we always go to our big stake party. They have games food, music and friends. Last time we came home with 1 gold fish but this we came home with 4. C and D loved them! But a little to much. D can climb on all our counters and so we found her next to the fish putting lotion in the bowl and C had fed them...way to much. Needless to say the fish didn't make it to see the next day.

I guess this summer must be pretty fun or at least tiring. A and B read a lot this July trying to earn all the prizes they could from the library and the reading program. Actually this summer has been really hard for me. The kids have been at each other constantly and really wearing me down. I'm excited for a trip to get us out of here!

Friday night we all headed to the Angles game. As you can tell from the picture our kids were pretty tired by then.

They woke up and were all ready for the game. You can't see everyone very well but there are a lot of people walking to the game in this picture.

B had fun dancing like the rally monkey with his cousin. All their dancing paid off cause the Angels won!

It was hard to get a good group shot so this is just a third of the group.

This is my whole group shot but you can't see everyone very well. It was a fun night. Glad we were able to pull it off. The reunion was a blast and I'm so glad we got all but 1 person there. I love getting together every year and am already looking forward to next years reunion. (I did make a separate region book with lots more pictures.)
